PASTE-BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 650,301, dated May 22, 1900.

Application led August 1l, 1899. Serial No. 726,897. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it 71mg/ concern,.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE P. CRAGIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Spe# kane, in the county of Spokane and State of Washington, have invented new and useful Improvements in Paste-Bottles, of which the following is a speciiication.

This invention relates to that class of pastebottles employing a central water-well to receive and keep in a moist condition the brush to be used in the paste, and is designed more particularly as an improvement on the construction of bottle disclosed in my Letters Patent of the United States, dated September 12, 1899, No. 632,806.

Theinvention and its many advantages will appear from the following description and claims when taken in connection with the annexed drawings, in Which- Figure l is a vertical diametrical sectional view of my improved bottle with the cover removed and the brush in the water-well.

Fig. 2 is a vertical diametrical sectional View of the improved bottle with parts in elevation and showing the cover and oil-pad in position closing both the well and the pasteehamber. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the well-holder removed from the bottle. Fig. 4 is a view, partly in section, of a blank from which two of the holders may be cut or formed. Fig. 5 is a vertical sectional view of the upper part of a bottle, well, and a cover constructed according to a modication. V

Referring by letter to said drawings, A indicates a bottle, which may be composed of.. glass or other suitable material and is of the form usually employed for holding paste.

B indicates a well 'for holding water and may be also composed of glass or the like.

The bottle A is provided around its upper outer side with threads ot to receive correspondin g threads on a skirt-lian ge ZJ, which depends from the marginal edge of the cover C. This cover may be stamped or otherwise formed from sheet metal or the like, and it has a central hole or opening c for the introduction of the brush, said opening being designed to come above the well B and expose the interior of the same.

The well B, which is preferably circular in cross-section, is placed centrally and vertically within the paste-bottle, a socketbeing provided to receive the well and hold the same in position. Y

The socket D, as better shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings, is preferably composed of lead or other pliable material which will permit of the same beingeasily and quickly shaped and placed in position. As a cheap and convenient wayof making the holders,`l take a piece ot' lead tubing or the like of a su ihcient length and diameter and stamp or cut the same as shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 4 of the drawings, after which or before a groove CZ may be formed at a suflicient distance from each end. The blank thus out and grooved should be turned so as to form the socket e at its upper end, and the branches f are bent outwardly and in a horizontal plane, so as to form legs, which rest snugly on the inner side of the bottom of the bottle,with their ends against the side walls of the bottle A. It will be observed that the groove d formed in the material will present an annular shoulder or rib g on the inside of the socket, upon which the lower end of the well B may rest. The height at which thewell may be placed within the bottle can be regulated by the position at which the rib or rest is formed in the socket or holder. The material being pliable, this rib or rest can be formed very readily and conveniently at any point desired. In some cases, where it is desirable to have the top of the well extend considerably above the top of the bottle, as shown in Fig. 5 of the drawings, the rest or socket may be made of a greater height than that employed in the other construction.

The cover C', with the depending marginal and threaded flange b', (see Fig. 5,) has its annular intermediate portion h sloping and is provided with a centrally-reduced annular portion t, having the brush opening or aperture c. This central elevated portion is designed to embrace the upper end of the top of the well B and extend over the upper edge thereof, an annulus 8, of oil-soaked material, being placed over the upper edge of the side walls of the bottle and around the well B', and a disk Sb, of similar material, being employed Y to cover thetop of the wellduring transportation orwhen` not intended `for .immediate use.

From the construction described it 'will be 5 seenthat I have an annular chamber for pas-te and a water-well central-lydi-sposed therein. y ket the socket D, when formed separately from the bottle, should be placed centrally then placed Within the socket. then placed in the annular holder or chamber and in a little-while becomes suieijen-tly hard to stay the socket and Well in position. l.

A pad j, of voilesoaked material; is then placed on the top of the bottle and over the `Well lor the annulln's; around the well and disk over thewelli afterwhi'eh the cover is turned down on the threaded upper side ot thebtzo tle, so as to snugly hold/the padon `the'tep lnnrgperiod ofi time: in a goed condition for euse.Y

ter ot c'oveigandv a brush may bel placed in the well, Where it will be. kept in a soft. `and pliable condition. and always ready for use.A
